 Poster: A snowHead
|
Hi All,
I'm proposing to drive to Austria (Nr Salzburg) in February 2008.
Has anyone done this already, and is there an obvious/direct route?
I guess what I mean does anyone know a tried and trested route??
Thanks,

skidad_2007, I go... Calais - Lille - Liege - Aachen - Frankfurt - Nurnberg - Munich - Salzburg. Off hand can't tell you the road numbers. Others go the Cologne, Karlsruhe, Stuttgart, Munich way but I seem to remember it being more fiddly and slower.

Well, the person's real but it's just a made up name, see?

Hi,
Do you have winter tyres or snow chains?? Try at least to get snow chains as people found out this week heavy snow can cause chaos even for the Austrians!!. It can also snow heavily around Munich as well. In Austria in heavy snow the police will stop you and ask you to put snow chains on -if you don't have them you will not be able to go any where!!. This even happens on the motorway!!.
By the way where about are you going near Salzburg??

Nigel,
Thanks for the tip - have just purchased chains and awaiting their arrival - hope the delivery person was not stuck in snow - he might use my chains!!
I'm heading for St. Johann im Pongau, where we hope to catch up with my son who'll be already in Austria for the seasons FIS races.
Happy Skiing

Hi,
St.Johann is about 15mins away from us. If you fancy a ski over in our area send us an e-mail.
Remember to practice putting the snow chains on and off. Its easier then trying to figure it out in all the snow!!

PS What FIS racing is your son taking part in?

Nigel,
Thanks for the invitation, I'm a very poor skier, although I do manage some quite steep terrain on times - I often wonder where my son got his abilities from.
He'll be racing in all the British FIS races - English, Scottish, British, & Welsh (non FIS) plus any others his coaches can get him into.
I've posted a few pics of him (hopefully in time for the calendar selection) if you want a viewing. (he's 15 now).
Thanks for all your info.
